Tuesday's chat

Tracy - go to C-net and see what they recommend.  Then look around on the net and go to Best Buy with a copy of the price.  They will usually match the best price.

Thanks, Yanke.  I was looking at Consumer Reports (we have an online subscription), but they were focusing more on higher-end (more expensive) laptops.  If I were a gamer or using it for a job or something really important, maybe that would be the way to go.  But I'll just do emailing, general web-surfing and forum posting, so I don't need anything too crazy.  I'll check out CNet, and luckily there's a Best Buy very close to us!

I forgot to say Happy Anniversary Glenda and Todd!

Huge thunderstorm just rolled through. I was going to mow/ bale the lawn but not now

Once again I apologize if anyone was upset with my comments on the news agencies 

Karen - you know we love you. (((Hugs))) Like Jackie, I was feeling cranky about the subject because I think the media gets blasted a lot lately. Their job is and always has been to get as up close and personal as possible and not all of them are good at it. When it's as "live" as it is with these situations, I cut them a lot of slack. I'm just glad the number of deaths was an error on the good side.

Insanely busy day today. Even Shane is worn out from following me around the office ;)

So, 30 years ago today Todd and I got married.  Time flies whether you are having fun or not!!  Mostly, yep, it's been fun, but we've had a few bumps on lifes road too, but oddly, those bumps just made us stronger together.

 Congratulations, Glenda and Todd!  I suspect you have a very strong marriage, made stronger by the trials and tribulations you have been through in the past several years.  I applaud you both for seeing the bright side through it all!  Toast with a glass of wine for another 30!!!

This time of year, you really see the prairies. Tree lines are miles away, usually along rivers, and the fields are smooth and dark. A long way between farmsteads when you get off the main roads.

Should be a good year for apples. Both my Honey Crisps are covered with blossoms. I'll have to spray them better this year, maybe use some fertilizer.

Meanwhile, I am watching the weather like a hawk. Swan Lake, at the edge of town, is a known tornado breeder. We should have suspected when we saw the bomb shelter in the house. It's actually a storm shelter and we keep it stocked with food and water. We have sat out a few storms in it.

Doug, I hope you don't see any severe tornado-type weather.  But if you do, good thing you've got a storm shelter.  I told DH when we were watching tonight's news coverage from Oklahoma that I would forgo spending money on furniture, vacations, etc. -- and I'd put the $ towards a storm shelter in (or under) my house if I lived in tornado alley. 

Thanks for the reminder about Fry's ---- there is one about 50 miles from here; I tend to forget about it, but I know people get good deals there.

Congratulations, Glenda and Mr. Glenda!
